Provide Background Details and Rationale: We are #ParkHillProud of our six National Merit Semifinalists! Congratulations to Park Hill High School's Malcolm Hunt, Kai Soo and Angela Villamayor and Park Hill South's Jonah Hicks, August Sturm (LEAD) and Jason Worcester.

Out of 1.3 million entrants nationwide, these seniors are among just 16,000 students who earned semifinalist status in the National Merit Scholarship Program, thanks to their exceptional performance on the 2024 PSAT/NMSQT.

Our semifinalists now have the opportunity to compete for approximately 6,930 National Merit scholarships, collectively worth nearly $26 million, to be awarded next spring.
